Distant supervision rules targeting "we are studing"/"investigating" sentences #228

Closed Colossus closed 8 years ago

Colossus commented 8 years ago

Lots of sentences start with "To investigate if X is linked to Y" (as part of an "Abstract" form in many bio papers). These sentences don't tell us anything about X being actually linked to Y. Whenever the sentence contains "study" or "investigate", and particularly if it starts with "To study/investigate", I'd like to supervise it false. ...

Next candidate: sentences starting with "We evaluated". Not too sure though if marking all of these as false is actually the right thing ... Maybe we should at least abstain from labeling "true" if sentences start like that.

" To evaluate whether ( a ) Wnt5a expression in pancreatic cancer and malignant melanoma cells might be associated with constitutive levels of Toll-like receptor 3 ( TLR3 ) and/or TLR3 signaling ; ( b ) phenylmethimazole ( C10 ) , a novel TLR signaling inhibitor , could decrease constitutive Wnt5a and TLR3 levels together with cell growth and migration ; and ( c ) the efficacy of C10 as a potential inhibitor of pancreatic cancer and malignant melanoma cell growth in vivo .
